Da Jia Lai restaurant in Ijok is now easily accessible via the newly opened West Coast Expressway. We arrived slightly after lunch hour and there were already many tables filled. It seems this particular restaurant is quite popular. Our orders were seafood porridge, which was incredibly delicious; fried oysters in batter (Orh Chien), fried calamari, steamed bamboo clams, and fried cockles in dark sauce. I believe their seafood porridge is their signature dish. The taste is exquisite and the porridge is superbly soft whilst the contents - crab, prawn and fish were incredibly savoury and tender. I just couldn't get enough of the porridge! Yum! The steamed bamboo clams were good, but the fried oysters and calamari were just average. Nothing to shout about. Please bear in mind this is a pork-free restaurant. The downside of this restaurant are the pesky flies darting everywhere - spoiling an otherwise enjoyable dining experience! That said - the seafood porridge is a must-try and it's worth the travel to this gem of a restaurant.
Food very delicious, can adjust how spicy your food. Every time I go Kuala Selangor I will go there for lunch.
Seafood porridge is yum and fresh. Tofu for kid is great. Stir fried cockle is surprisingly taste great.
Visited this restaurant at Ijok in January 10, 2021. Only write review now because I can't recall the restaurant name until I visited again in last December. All foods are big portion and delicious. Price is reasonable compared to city restaurants price. Worth a try with no regrets.
Plenty of carpark and tables, small table for 2-4ppl or big table for 8-10ppl are both available. Indoor aircond and outdoor are both available. Hot plate toufu a bit plain and slightly costly. Both fry beehoon are excellent, very delicious. Kangkung belancan is also good, not spicy.
